Essentials of faith. Humanism
Description
It is a philosophy that seeks to replace religion with rites of passage based on compassion and rationality. Despite its overarching goals, Humanism divides into several groups-from hedonism to secularism. This program delineates viewpoints from five articulate humanist proponents who, through thoughtful explanations, evoke the multifaceted landscape of Humanist thought. Participants include prominent scientist and atheist Dr. Richard Dawkins, Hanne Stinson of the British Humanist Association, Keith Porteous Wood of the National Secular Society, semi-deist philosopher Antony Flew, and Roy Hattersley, former Deputy Leader of Britain's Labor Party.
